I'm uninvolved with this matter, but I thought I should point out that as a technical matter, IP addresses are not private information, but on the contrary are explicitly designed as public identifiers for computers on a public computer network---this is why they were created. Any time you use the internet, you are broadcasting your IP address to all sites you connect to, so the only way to keep that information private is to refrain from visiting websites.

In fact, even this email you just sent says right in it that it was sent by "oemcomputer ([81.104.242.15])", which appears to be the IP address of your ntl.com cablemodem. This information was added to the email by NTL as a means of identifying your IP address as the sender of the email. Do you plan to sue them as well for giving out your IP address in such a flagrant manner?

Hello "zionprophet",

Perhaps if you could details what these abuses are and the manner in which you want us to rectify them then we would be better able to come to some sort of solution to this issue.

Out of interest, what is your Wikipedia username?

I am appalled by the manner in which I was freely abused and slandered by wikipedia, and I am further stunned that during a websearch, all of the derogatory remarks were freely available from the first few search pages of Yahoo and Google, mentioning me by name, and also my IP address, with accusation of being a spammer and also a direct inference by a one Theresa Knott of being a 'liar'.

I have hardly used wiki, and visited two days ago for the first time in months, and was shocked at my treatment.

I contact wiki president Jimmy Wales, who has made it clear that he 'stands by' his admin decisions and attitudes.

After a variety of discussions and e-mails, I finally lost patience with this unforgiveable attitude and arrogant stance, and notified Mr Wales that I intend to raise legal proceedings against wikipedia. This type of freely accesible derogatory, slanderous information, including posting an individuals IP address on the internet , could have serious consequences for many people. Wiki even concedes in it;s own pages, that such things can occur more or less 'by accident', but make no effort to correct or remove slanderous comments and peron's IP addresses. In a world where IP Blacklists sites have been greatly on the rise, wiki has set a dangerous precedent for itself, and made itslef a law unto itself.

I am interested in hearing from other aggrieved parties, who would be willing to provide testimony of their treatment by wiki admins, including derogatory, defammatory/slanderous comments, accusations and IP address posting. You can contact me by e-mail at zionprophet@zioncities.com, in full confidence.

I am in the process of setting up a website concerning this, warning other webusers of the atrocious behaviour by wiki and it's president and administrator's, and shall keep anyone who contacts me fully advised of these matters.

For anyone who tries to 'infiltrate' this matter on the behalf of wiki as some kind of 'mole', don;t bother wasting your time. Wiki shall be kept abreast of everything, and any person behaving in such a scurrillous manner shall further be dealt with legally.

Regards,
